Original Jack and jacking points

PostPost by: Bowers41 » Tue May 21, 2024 2:44 pm

Hi all hope your well

Just a random does any one have a original jack for a Elan plus 2 ?

Also the jacking points on the plus 2 that are under the door and just before the rear wheel. I heard they lead on to a lattice frame is this true ?
Does this mean when you lift all the weight on on the 10mm pin or is it on the outer section of the hole as marked up

The Lattice is the baby elan.
On +2 elans there is a sort of removable metal beam.
Sounds like you need a workshop manuel

The jack engages with bobbins welded onto the side impact protection beams in the sills. See above picture.
